Babies cry as a means of communication, expressing their needs, emotions, and discomforts. Crying is their primary way of conveying messages since they are unable to communicate verbally. Understanding why a baby cries can be essential for parents and caregivers to provide appropriate care and support. Some common reasons why babies cry include:

Hunger: One of the most common reasons for a baby's cry is hunger. Infants have small stomachs and need frequent feeding, so crying is their way of signaling that they need nourishment.

Discomfort: Babies might cry when they feel uncomfortable due to wet or soiled diapers, feeling too hot or too cold, or being in an uncomfortable position.
